AncalagonTheBlack Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Glen Powell to Star in Edgar Wright’s Remake of ‘The Running Man’ Glen Powell, Hollywood’s favorite rising star, has nabbed his first action vehicle. The actor, who cemented his leading-man status with the hit romantic comedy Anyone but You, will star in Paramount’s The Running Man, a new adaptation of the Stephen King novel that Edgar Wright will direct. Wright, who’s been attached to the project since 2021, is also producing along with partner Nira Park and genre mainstay Simon Kinberg. Amazon MGM Studios upcoming stuff: Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans’ movie Red One. While we agree to keep mum about the details of the Santa Claus rescue movie, let’s just say the originally conceived for Prime Video title is definitely meant for theatrical, which is where it’s going on Nov. 15; the only wide release currently on that weekend. Let’s just say that Red One is a fire-breathing Christmas action movie that completely reinvents the holiday genre. There hasn’t been a mass appealing Christmas tentpole in six years, the last being Illumination/Universal’s The Grinch which made over a half billion worldwide. Red One is a really fun original action film for both Johnson and Evans, and it’s a world building piece of IP which lends itself to potential sequels set around different holidays. Plan B’s The Nickel Boys which will hit theaters this year, the movie based on Colson Whitehead‘s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and starring Oscar nom Aunjanue Ellis (King Richard). There’s also the Bart Layton directed Crime 101 based on the Don Winslow novella which will be released in 2025. Also destined for theaters next year is the Luca Guadagnino directed, Julia Roberts starring After the Hunt which is produced by Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer and Allan Mandelbaum and Guadagnino’s Frenesy banner. The film is an intense dramatic thriller about a college professor (Roberts) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star pupil levels an accusation against one of her colleagues and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light. Coming in 2026 is the Ryan Gosling headlining and produced astronaut movie Project Hail Mary from scribe Drew Goddard and Phil Lord and Christopher Miller directing.Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary is getting adapted into a movie, with Ryan Gosling on board to star and produce, Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (the Spider-Verse films) directing, and Drew Goddard (The Martian, Netflix’s Daredevil series) penning the script.

I definitely did not imagine Gosling as playing the protagonist of this story, but I look forward to it nonetheless. Good choices for the writer and directors. If they adapt it as well The Martian was adapted, it will be another great SF movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncalagonTheBlack Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Al Pacino, Dan Stevens to Play Troubled Priests in Exorcism Horror ‘The Ritual’ (EXCLUSIVE) https://variety.com/2024/film/global/al-pacino-dan-stevens-the-ritual-horror-david-midell-1235979115/ Based on a true story, “The Ritual” follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms. The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 They've been trying to make it for a couple of decades. I wouldn't hold my breath that they'll crack it this time, but who knows TheLastWolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastWolf Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) John Hillcoat who directed The Road (middling adaptation of a great McCarthy book) is set to direct I hear. This is Blood Meridian we're talking about and who is this guy exactly? And Chris Pratt as The Judge, please let this adaptation not make it. Would be cool if someone like Robert Eggers read it and convinced himself (that there was enough horror for him) to attempt.

Very bleak. Very brutal. I don’t see anything about Pratt still being attached in the above article, so hopefully that’s not the case anymore. I saw a fan casting for The Judge of Anthony Carrigan from Barry, and now I can’t unsee it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, but him being approached at all doesn't bode well for my impression of the filmmaker's idea of the book. If only Stellan Skarsgard was younger... 1 hour ago, Nictarion said: I saw a fan casting for The Judge of Anthony Carrigan from Barry, and now I can’t unsee it.
